Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Our Wisteria Chinensis & Millettia Reticulata (Evergreen Wisteria)}


  • There are all sorts of vines but the Wisteria chinensis is a very vigorous one. 
  • You will see one picture of a 'MONSTER', which we had to cut down about six years ago. 
  • It had completely strangled the tree that it was climbing up on and we were afraid that the tree would die and topple... 
  • Needless to say that such a safety hazard is not wanted. 
  • But their blossoms are lovely and very fragrant as well. 
  • Join me for a garden tour from Book an Event ←(click it) with us.
  • Above 3 photos are from our Wisteria chinensis that grows near the creek.
  • Next I like to show you the one that got the death penalty... It was an untamable 'MONSTER'...

  • This is a beautiful white Wisteria with very long trusses of highly fragrant flowers.

  • And a pink one is climbing up the trees, that are near the creek in the back of our property.


  • When those Wisteria chinensis are done blooming from the end of March till mid April, then we have in June this non-invasive Millettia Reticulata (Evergreen Wisteria) follow up!
  • This one is available at Durio nursery.
Which one do you like most?

  5. oooohhhh mijn mond valt open...bloeien die al bij jullie?
    Ze heeft prachtig mooie lange bloemtrossen, hier is de knop net zichtbaar, maar met die warme temperaturen nu, zullen ze ook wel eerder bloeien dan normaal.

  6. Hello Mariette,
    oh my God, what a gorgeous Wisteria the monster is. I would forgive this plant every death by this wonderful flowers. So impressive. I have a Wisteria also, but we cut it very much and every year to avoid damage of our roof. I love all Wisteria and they are often used for beautiful art noveau decorations. I have never seen such a deep purple one as your last photo shows. I am always very fond of extraordinary colors.
    Greetings, Johanna

  7. I love everything. There are not many things that grow naturally in this country. I crave the sight of flowers and trees and grass galore! Our blue skies turned to gray with a bit of rain. Have a terrific Thursday. Tammy

  12. Dear Friend,
    Well the Wisteria looks beautiful and I love the light purple color but our neighbors Wisteria grew into our trees 2 years ago and strangled a few trees that had to be cut down. We did not see it till they bloomed. Wisteria can really take over in a hurry, but your Monster is really gorgeous. Your gardens are a fairyland.

    thank you for stopping by and your well wishes. I am coming along, doing better each day.

    Love to you,
    Celestina Marie

  13. Beste Mariet en Pieter,



    Heb zojuist op je Blog gekeken en ik moet zeggen dat jullie van je property
    werkelijk een waar paradijsje hebben gemaakt.

    Wat een belevenis om hier iedere dag in te kunnen werken en genieten.

    Al die prachtige bomen, bloemen en planten die op en top verzorgd worden
    door jullie en nu dankbaar hun schoonheid tonen.

    Voor ons ook fijn om te kunnen meegenieten.



    Lieve groetjes van Hay, John, Rick, Mieke, Elly.
